Garden LogPlanting notes
Rough timings for this plot. Mostly learned the hard way.
| Crop | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Garlic | Late Sep – Oct | East fence, 15 cm apart, big cloves only |
| Spinach | Sep – Oct | Covers well over winter |
| Cabbage | Aug (seedlings) | Net them, the hens love it |
| Spring onions | Mar & Sep | Mark the rows |
| Potatoes | Late Mar | Earth up twice |
| Tomatoes | Mid Apr | Only after the last cold night |
| Peppers | Late Apr | Happy in the wet corner, oddly |
| Beans | May | Stop watering when pods fill |
The plot
The hens
Six of them, all different ages. They get kitchen scraps, the spent plants, and the run is moved a little every spring so the ground can rest.
